Over the last few years I’ve loved building a team and creating great things for our clients, but I’ve missed building products. A little more than a year ago, we started work on a system that I’ve had in the back of my mind for (quite literally) years. This work has resulted our first commercial…

I’m very pleased that my WordPress HelpCenter team is ready to grow again and we’re looking for a top-notch WordPress developer to join our team. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of WordPress and web development (PHP, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript) experience, comfortable working in a standard web hosting environment, and in particular someone…

I’m looking for a sharp web developer to join my team in our Denver office at Crowd Favorite. I want to find someone with a relatively, broad range of experience and skills – if you’ve been building cool stuff for the last few years, you’ve probably got it. We are looking for the right technical,…

We currently have two internships available at Crowd Favorite. We are looking for a couple of bright, motivated folks to join the team and help us build great stuff for WordPress. These positions are both in our downtown Denver office, giving you the opportunity to learn from and work with our team of experienced WordPress…

I was interviewed on the WP Community podcast by hosts Joost De Valk and Frederick Townes. We covered a number of topics – hopefully the content is of interest (and sorry about the ads). You can stream or download the podcast here.

The tickets for WordCamp Boulder 2010 went on sale today. The discounted early bird tickets have been flying off the shelves – it’s great to see such an enthusiastic response from our local tech community. I wanted to publish a quick Q & A to answer a few things I’ve seen circling around: What is…

We’ve released a new WordPress plugin to help reduce the server load that can occasionally result from a large number of 404 requests on a WordPress-powered site. I wrote about this issue in some detail previously. This plugin gives you the ability to set a collection of file extensions that you do not want WordPress…

It’s true in any profession: everyone will look at your own (insert specialty here) and assume it’s representative of the best of your work. More often, the opposite is true – especially if you’re good at what you do. The cobbler’s children go barefoot. This was definitely the case for us. The previous iteration of…

I’ve updated my Twitter Tools plugin to version 2.3. This version has several security enhancements (thanks Mark Jaquith) as well as a change that may help some folks that have been seeing doubled digest posts. I recommend upgrading ASAP. The Twitter Tools plugin creates a full integration between your WordPress site and your Twitter account.…

I’m a fan of Brent’s and I’ve been using NetNewsWire as for years. I use it on the Mac, iPhone (and iPod touch) and iPad. It’s treated me very well. There’s just one thing that bugs me about the iPhone/iPad version – there isn’t a “mark unread” button. So I decided to do a little…

One of the things I love about WordPress HelpCenter is the way we are able to add offerings based on customer demand. Our latest addition is a formalization of a collection of support and maintenance packages so that we can provide pro-active support for our customers. With these packages, we are not only responding to…

I’ve added a few more metro areas that were requested for GameTonight: Chicago Cincinnati (also available at /cincy) Los Angeles (also available at /la) Washington DC (also available at /dc) I hadn’t added Chicago initially because the venues for the various teams are not as close to each other as they are in Denver, Minneapolis,…

A few months ago, while driving in to downtown Denver: Her: Should we take the Park Ave exit or 20th st? Me: I don’t know, is there a game tonight? Her: I don’t know. Me: Hmm, there should be a web site for that… …and now there is. Introducing GameTonight.in, a single serving web site…

I released a new version of our WordPress HelpCenter plugin last week in order to update information in it to reflect our expanded hours. I realized that this might cause some concern for any of our affiliates. One of the things we offer to our affiliates is a customized version of the HelpCenter plugin that…

I’m very pleased that we have reached the point with WordPress HelpCenter where we need to add another developer to our team. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of WordPress, PHP, XHTML and CSS experience, basic server configuration experience, and in particular someone with outstanding communication skills. Ideally we’d like to add someone…
